Free Dadapop by Buttress O'Kneel
🎙️ things to know about free dadapop:
🎛️ Doublemidied Intro (Sine + Bowed Glass) is the first track from clipping's Visions album midified into a midi sine tone and a midi bowed glass sample.
💿 Bad Dreams Again is the track Bad Dreams from Octamidi Megawave (2020), octamidied and then with extra rapping cutup on top of it.
🎛️ Bossy Foom Foom, Sir Fiver, and Guinnevenniug (14 layers) are all multi-layered CDJ improvisations. in fact, Sir Fiver was the first thing i ever did with that particular CDJ, and Bossy Foom Foom was the second. then i did what became Beginning, Middle and End.
💿 Guinnevenniug (14 layers) is called that coz it's 14 layers of improvised CDJ. there's all sortsa shit in there, from bagpipes to free jazz to field recordings to jimi hendrix guitar feedback to a "hooked on flutes" kinda album (op shops rule).
🎛️ one of the cool things about this CDJ is there's a 'reverse' button, so the first layer in Guinnevenniug is mostly just pressing reverse a lot, stretching out those Crosby Stills and Nash harmonies into long tone walls just by going forward and backwards a zillion times.
💿 because there's so many layers on Guinnevenniug, i mixed down all the layers without the original one, and it's here as a bonus track, if yr interested.
🎛️ all the spoken words in the Rezonations interludes are taken from a recent interview between Trent Reznor and Rick Rubin (if u didn't recognise him, that's Rick Rubin in the window of the album cover).
💿 Megamidied Epic of the Cherubim is the track Epic of the Cherubim (also from Octamidi Megawave) turned into all sorts of midi shit and then reconstructed.
🎛️ and the artwork is the album cover of Crosby Sills and Nash's first album "Crosby Sills and Nash", but with Doja Cat, Trent Reznor, and Sir Mixalot instead (with a spectral Rick Rubin hiding in the window).
💿 Free Dadapop is the 42nd in the ComPop series.

“Words like "mashup" and "remix" don't really do justice to Buttress O'Kneel's method - Top 40 pop crap gets sliced, diced, and tossed into a dizzying, exciting hardcore electro stew. Compared to other djs who timidly drop a Vanilla Ice acapella over a Chemical Bros intro just to move a dance floor, O'Kneel shreds copyrights with a blood-curdling vehemence. Smash the state!”
